We’d like to thank everyone who wrote in and shared their stories for last month’s theme, Pushing the Boundary. These contributions not only gave insight into the diverse backgrounds of those entering sound and advice to anyone starting out, they also shared invaluable philosophies for how to make audio a lasting career. So take it from our contributors and make this field your own by looking for the gaps, getting organized, having fun, and doing it your own way (and avoid over-processing your sounds).
Just in case you missed anyone’s contributions, here’s a list of all those who shared.
